Main thing in EVE is politics, PvP and crafting / economy. Also soloing in EVE is not really interesting unless you have very specific mindset. So joining a corp sooner or later is a must imho to have fun. Can be small one.

EVE can be great game, but it is not for everybody AND most importantly it is not PVE game. It has some PVE content and you might (or not) have some fun with it, but it is not main game.

What is wonderful that I have found about EVE is that even if you get bored with the content, the community may keep you playing. I suggest finding a nice community to fully enjoy the social side of EVE Online.

If you post on redit alot you may join "Test Alliance" I know they are a friendly bunch.

Yet, oddly enough, players spend roughly 70% of their time on PVE activities and I'm in fact running incursions where many players are doing nothing but PVE every day and night.

Now if you said EVE has no traditional raiding like a theme park MMO I'd agree with your assessment, but EVE has quite a few PVE activities actually, which are in support of PVP at the end of the day its true.

Arrogant, Condescending, Dismissive, Elitist, "Meany", you speak as if these are bad things?Still currently "subscribed" to EVE, and only EVE!!!"This is the most intelligent, well qualified and articulate response to a post I have ever seen on these forums.

Did not knew that. I played EVE years ago lately, so maybe I have outdated hmm impression.

Then I admit mistakes and Kenze listen to Kyleran and other EVE vets then. Seems PVE in EVE gotten stronger over the years.

EvE isnt for you. Its a sandbox with truely dozens of things to do...you could roll out a pure indy character just craft/trade/play the market ALL day long and still be behind. Eve isnt a game, its a place. after having my account open since 2007 I truley believe that....the developer who manages to capture ( and refine) what CCP did and slaps a new engine on it will be ftw, lets hope Titan is something like this....

No need to apologize, PVP is and will always be the main focus of EVE and all PVE is oriented to supporting this, even if only indirectly.

If you've been away for awhile in the recen years they added Wormhole space, Incursions and Planetary Interaction all in the efforts to shore up the traditional PVE activities of Mission running and Mining. (They even beefed up missions with epic story arcs and Level 5 missioning) One could also argue that WH's are a mix of PVE / PVP since they intertwine so much.

But you are correct, EVE PVE is by no means facinating, but some of us enjoy focusing on it and make PVP our sideline occupation.

Agreed. getting into a corp or one of the many sub communities really changes the game.

You do not fly your ship (like you can in X series, or Wing Commander), you travel between fixed points within a system.

You want to do anything, you need the skills for it.

Skills go from Level 1 to Level 5.

There are about 200 Skills

You do not learn Frigate L5 by flying around in a frigate.

Want to fly a Carrier ... your training skills for 12-18 months.

Skills train in realtime .. a 5day skill takes 5 whole days to train, and yes there are skills that take 30+ days to train.

Most people are totally unprepared for how Eve handles character progression.

Eve requires you to KNOW what you want to do and what you want to fly before you install the game for the first time, because just being proficient in 1 type of battleship takes the best part of 4 months.

All that aside, theres a lot to do in eve.

Skillbooks and a few basic commodities are sold by NPC's, everything else on the market is there because a player either mined it, looted it or made it.
